Tiny fire extinguisher can save you from equally tiny fires

worlds_smallest_fire_extinguisher.jpgAre you constantly afraid of being caught in a very tiny fire? Well, you should protect yourself against such completely unlikely events! Just carry around one of these PinQy, a tiny, completely impractical fire extinguisher that's sure to help you sleep better at night, at least until you get caught in a fire larger than can be handled by a fire extinguisher the size of a tennis ball.

The idea of the thing is to make a fire extinguisher that people wouldn't be ashamed to keep in their kitchen. The way I see it, if someone values the aesthetics of their kitchen over the safety of their family, they deserve what they get. But hey, that's just me!

Very funny. When you find yourself in a kitchen(if that's not too threatening an idea) and a fire starts you would be very pleased to be able to stop it with something tiny. The ready and available bit is more important than the size. Or perhaps the idea of a tiny fire growing into a larger one (cos that's what happens) is something you are destined to experience.

Hello,

Check out the StoveTop FireStop to prevent kitchen fires. StoveTop FireStop is an automatic fire suppressor that attaches magnetically under the venthood over a stovetop. You can't even see it because it's hidden under the venthood and since it works automatically when flame activated, you never even have to fumble with a fire extinguisher.

Check out the website at www.stovetopfirestop.com.

Thank you!
